The Rotax engines are between 23k and 39k depending how much HP you want.
You can get a rebuilt Lycoming for that!
Oh, didn’t realize the engines were extra (and maybe the tires too). Still, I’m impressed as can be. It’s going to be interesting to see how it does when they start turning up in Alaska. Also, wonder if they have any plans for a four-seater?
I checked those engine prices at their website. Wow! Just like you said. They’ve really went up in the last few years, unless they have a pretty significant markup on them. Time to get out trade-a-plane out and do some checking... ;)
